Game 76: Warren’s First Time

You only get one Major League debut, and tonight 24-year-old right-hander Adam Warren will make his. He’ll become the first player to make his big league debut as a starting pitcher for the Yankees since Ian Kennedy in 2007, a game I just so happened to have in my 20-game package that summer. That was neat. Anyway, it would be real nice if the offense could push some runs across early to give Warren some breathing room. Here’s the lineup…

Tonight’s game is scheduled to start a little after 7pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and MLB Network nationally. Enjoy.

HOPE Week: Today’s event featured the Children’s Alopecia Project and a picnic at the New York Botanical Gardens. Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that attacks hair follicles and leads to hair loss. Chad Jennings has the details.

So the situation with Russ is going to be like it was last year I take it? He’s going to miss two weeks without going on the DL just because?

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Sounds about right.

Brian S.

We need a new catcher.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

I’ve got no problem with a healthy russel martin, but seriously just DL him if he’s hurt and call up Cervelli.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

Claim Quintero. Then when Russ gets back dump Stewart and make him the backup.

Brian S.

Quintero is racist though.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

is he? then claim him, trade him to the Red Sox for Shoppach. he’d be perfect with Salty.

Brian S.

The Yankees have the scouting report on Quintana right? Since we created him?

I hope Lou is in the booth again tonight!

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

Warren has been pretty unimpressive this year in AAA.

Let’s hope he can give the Yankees a serviceable 5-6 innings tonight.

Jimmy McNulty

Getting the Knob Creek ready.

MM, Knob Creek. I prefer Glenlivet, but still damn good whiskey.

Mike N

I just obtained a liter bottle of Bols Corenwijn. I am gonna use it in the sauteed shrimp tacos I am making for my wife for dinner, and definitely have a few chef’s sips.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

dude…stop. I’m eating cold pizza :(

Pat D

I’m having microwave cuisine. Is that any better?

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Lol, at least it’s hot. I really gotta get a microwave here.

jjyank

I’m eating Cheerios for dinner. Feel better?

Pat D

Chocolate Cheerios exist.

This makes me sad. Can we please stop making healthy cereals bad and just concentrate on inventing more junk food cereals please?

You know what’s annoying? Apparently, Count Chocula is only available around Halloween. I went looking for some a few weeks ago and didn’t find any. I was sad.

OMG! Bagels!

I read a lot about him 2 years ago and thought he’d be up sooner based on his pre MLB record and I don’t know what he’s been doing that has kept him toiling in the minor leagues.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Being in the Yankees farm system. It’s really hard to break into the big leagues as a mid-level prospect on this team. Unless your a Phil Hughes, or Joba Chamberlian it’s going to take some injuries and strong performance to get to the big clup.

Knoxvillain

He’s been sucking this year. That’s why it took so long for him to get called up, and only did because of injuries. If nobody got injured, he probably wouldn’t throw a pitch at all this year.

Pat D

Well he just struck out a guy who had 4 hits last night, so clearly he does not suck.

Get his HOF plaque ready!

Knoxvillain

He is now our number two starter.

Mike N

I give it two more innings before SEND HIM DOWN! FIRE GIRARDI! CASHMAN SUCKS!

Pat D

Bring me the vocal chords of Hawk Harrelson.

Mike N

YEAH! Lou is here!!!!

JobaWockeeZ

How do we know it’s his first time?

Mike N

Because every statement made by him or anyone else with knowledge of the situation has referred to it as his first stint in the majors?

JobaWockeeZ

It was a bad joke.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Getting the plaque ready for Cooperstown right now. It should be ready by the end of the game tonight.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Never mind he walked a guy TO THE BULLPEN!!

Dewayne is wise

Nice start love the hook.

jjyank

Awesome first AB for Warren. Rootin’ hard for ya kid!

Dewayne is wise

Also like the pace he gets it he throws it no bullshit.

Mike N

Got plans for later?

RkyMtnYank

ehhh, that was a nice pitch

Pat D

Yankees don’t seem to want to deal with Dunn.

Dewayne is wise

Wtf nice squeeze ump

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Getting squeezed on some close pitches already. ::Rolls eyes::

Pat D

He has to earn the privilege of getting those pitches called his way.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

please tell me that’s sarcasm making fun of that douche ump?

jjyank

I think it was a reference to when an ump told Martin he had to earn the right to throw the ball back to the pitcher.

Pat D

Naturally.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Just making sure lol…there have been some accusations flying around about you =P

It’s funny. I saw a news headline yesterday that the inventor of Scantron died. I originally read it as the inventor of Scranton died. And I was like, someone invented that place?

Knoxvillain

Take him out, the game is over. ERA of 9? He sucks!!!

Should have kept Igawa!

jjyank

Hey, Igawa is the all time wins leader for Scranton. He’s awesome!!

I kid, I kid.

Knoxvillain

He had more wins than Warren, so I don’t even know why they let Igawa go.

jjyank

Yeah, they should just trade IPK and Melky to get Igawa back.

Knoxvillain

Gotta wait until Joba is back or else whatever team has Igawa won’t do the deal.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Cut him!

Dewayne is wise

Come on kid reach down and grab your nuts and pitch.

Will The Thrill

The White Sox hitters look way too comfortable at the plate. It looks like they’re hunting fastball and seeing the ball well out of Warren’s hand.

Greg

Well, We are very lucky that we didn’t lose any ground last night.

This is going to be a slugging match, that hopefully we come out on top

Pat D

No lead is safe in YS3.

Greg

No that’s Fenway

Pat D

That’s this park, too.

Knoxvillain

Looks like a very short game for both pitchers tonight.

Need Pitching

jeez, batting practice
Get Phelps up.

Greg

I think Cashman should be reaching for the phone right now

Mike N

I hope his parents already have a few beers in them.

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

This has got to,be painful for a parent to watch.

Karl Krawfid

Chris Stewart should know better. Too many fastballs in a row.

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

First team to 10 wins tonight.

Brian S.

God dammit.

TomH

Anytime I’m tempted to complain about Yankee broadcasters, I think about ESPN, FOX, and the White Sox and thank God for the broadcaster blessings he has bestowed on the Yankees.

Hummingbird S.

great shutdown inning

its going to be a long night and not one we’ll enjoy…

DERP

GFY

Pat D

Why, do we lose?

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

1.

Tom

Please stop this… this is almost as bad as the actual trolling and only encourages people.

Also, not every single negative comment or question of a Girardi move is trolling.

jjyank

But Hummingbird is a troll. So there’s that.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Hummingbird is among the king of trolls here. He finds shit to bitch about when we’re winning by multiple runs. and here’s a doozey for you, go look at the end of the game thread last night, and see who was one of the first to call out Girardi for fucking up (Hint: It was me.)

jjyank

For the love of Mo, haven’t we learned not to declare the game over in the second inning by now? Get outta here.

Dewayne is wise

Grooved meatballs do not work up here

Kramerica Industries

So this is life without C.C. or Pettitte.

Pat D

Wow, the ChiSox broadcast had their strikezone up. They had exactly none of the pitches to Beckham being over the plate.

TommyBoy

Warren is not that good. 5-5 3.86era and more hits than innings pitched in the minors! He blows!

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

2.

Greg

What are you counting today

jjyank

Trolls, I’d wager.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Trolls, already. TommyBoy has never once said anything productive, positive, or a critic that could be argued in anyway.

Pat D

If I am counted tonight, I will go Les Grossman on this entire board.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

I don’t get it.

Dewayne is wise

Is phelps up yet

Knoxvillain

If I hear that fucking “baseball, apple pie, and Chevrolet” commercial one more time, I am going to have a heart attack.

Mike N

Where are you watching? I’m not hearing that on YES.

Knoxvillain

I was checking up on MLB Network and the commercial played again.

Pat D

You forgot “hot dogs.”

But, yea, that’s one of many commercials that make me want to kill myself right now.

Knoxvillain

So damn annoying.

Mike N

If it’s gonna be a slugfest and battle of the bullpens, I like the Yanks’ odds.

flamingo

Hopefully we put on a better hitting clinic than they do in this one.

Pat D

Those are boos for the Cro-Magnon and not “Youk” chants, right?

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

Why would they be Youk chants?

Pat D

Because people are fucking stupid.

Giants fans would always chant “Moose” for Daryl Johnston, and it annoyed me to no fucking end.

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

That’s because when the Giants play Dallas, 20% of the fans are Cowboys fans at least.

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

Definitely Boos

dontchaknow

I don’t wanna say phelpsy.. but…. phelpsy

Dewayne is wise

Ok so who were those teams that were calling cash for Warren?

Pat D

They all stopped calling.

First time lawng time

Wow. This pitcher sucks.

Also, why did David Robertson not start the ninth inning last night?

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

That was a Burnettian inning.

Greg

Didn’t you watch the WB Mason postgame show, only on YES!?

Pat D

We discussed that last night. Girardi gave a terrible excuse, and the consensus seems to be he was trying to avoid using DRob and Soriano, just because.

First time lawng time

Oh. Thankyou. The only part of the postgame I saw was Robertson’s interview, and he seemed pretty pissed that he didn’t start the inning.

Pat D

So was Mrs. DRob, evidently.

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

Because his wife prefers the excitement of bringing him in with runners on base.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

“If the ball is hit to A-Rod, he’ll go home with it, Ground ball to third Alex throws to first, the run scores.” John Sterling, wrong but not missing a beat.

jjyank

Heh. Going home would have been a mistake. It’s early in the game, get the out.

http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike Axisa

Yeah really, the kid can’t buy an out. Take it.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

I just found it funny how much he just stated it as a fact, but then with out acting like he was wrong in the same breath and kept going.

DERP

Okay hopefully he can settle down.

TommyBoy

And Joe will wait for Warren to give up another 4 runs before he takes him out.

Dewayne is wise

Is he over 50 pitches yet?

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

I’d say roughly 55.

Brian S.

Pitching to the score. You’re doing it wrong.

Dewayne is wise

Can we make deal with oakland and get Colon back?

Greg

That’s a good idea. Colon’s on the DL.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

He’s on the DL.

Dewayne is wise

Ok whats javey vasquez doing these days?

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

I thought we were done with the NL, having the pitchers lead of the inning :D

Brian S.

lol Stewart

RkyMtnYank

awesome bunt

Brian S.

CHRIS STEWART DID SOMETHING! TAKE THAT MIKE AXISA!

-Greg

http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike Axisa

Does that mean you’d rather have Jorge Posada?

Wil Nieves Number 1 Fan

So much momentum. Sign Trevor Plouffe and *insert comment complaining about ESPN*.

Dewayne is wise

Stewie makes the toxic avenger look bad
Well done!

http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike Axisa

Chris Stewart sucks.

Greg

That’s on Jeter. He waved him to go.

http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike Axisa

Keep making excuses. God forbid we ask Stewart to have an original thought on the bases.

Greg

So you are going to say no to Derek Jeter. Good luck with that.

http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike Axisa

Yes. I would like players to say no to Jeter and be right than say yes to him and be wrong.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

Because Jeter is totally gonna rip Stewart in the dugout for not going on that.

Pat D

Technically, isn’t “The ball didn’t get that far away from him but I’ll go anyway” an original thought?

Greg

If Jeter hadn’t waved him over, I would be with you. That was stupid

Pat D

I thought he signaled “Hold up!” myself.

Greg

First blush, I thought he waved him over

Hummingbird S.

what a fucking dumbass

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

Stewart is such a dumbass.

Mike N

If Ripken had any balls, he’d have been all like, “Jeter’s a punk, and the next time I see him, I’m gonna deck him for passing me.”

Need Pitching

ugghhh

free outs, get your free outs here

Greg

Jeter waved him to go

Dewayne is wise

He taged his package lol

TommyBoy

Stewart can’t do anything right!

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

…why in christ’s fucking sake is our back up catcher stealing bases. I hope Girardi is letting him have it in the dug out. I know he’s not though. You as a catcher know better than anybody your pitcher needs to catch his breath, and you just give away an out.

Greg

I blame Jeter. He waved for him to go. You dont say no to Derek Jeter

Wil Nieves Number 1 Fan

i loled

jjyank

Of course not, you want the gift basket the next morning :P

Brian S.

Please get off my team Stewart.

Will The Thrill

Argh. This is already turning out to be a yucky series. Worst since the Anaheim series a couple of weeks ago…

eephus_pitch

Stewart ran to save Jeter the indignity of GIDP.

PREDETERMINED OUTCOME

Pat D

Yea, I rewound the game and Jeter clearly signaled “Hold up!” because as soon as he saw Stewart going, he looked down and frowned.

Erica

Yeah, Jeter stuck his hand out to tell him to stay. Womp womp.

Greg

Alright. Stewart was an idiot. Still the same defensive and offensive value as Cervelli.

Need Pitching

Cervelli’s clearly better offensively

Erica

Watch it. Frankie is a legend!

Erica

Meep.

jjyank

What noise is that?

Erica

Just a general weird noise expressing my feelings about this game. I’m almost entertained, in a weird way, because it’s not going to be a boring game in the LEAST. It’s already wacked out.

Hummingbird S.

how many times this season have we seem the Yankees score 2+ in the first and get shut down the rest of the way? It has this feeling to it..

Need Pitching

based on one inning??

an inning led off by Chris Stewart??

http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike Axisa

And Stewart reached base!

Evan3457

That would be exactly…once.

Need Pitching

Phelps please

Mike N

Oy.

dontchaknow

phelpsy

Greg

I blame Lou. We are 0-4 in games that he has called. And we ould be 0-5

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

First pitch, slider. Right down broadway. fuck man…

Dewayne is wise

Right down main street.

Hummingbird S.

btw, this Warren kid sucks.. so much for the vaunted pitching depth

Erica

He doesn’t suck.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

He clearly sucks Erica. Everybody knows you can make definitive statements about pitchers 2 innings into their major league career.

Erica

I want to see Hummingbird S. become Brian Cashman for a day.

jjyank

I sure as hell don’t.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

A-Rod would be cut, the minors would be gutted for Cliff Lee, Cargo, King Felix, and one other guy. We’d be good for like 3 years and be terrible for the next decade.

Erica

Jim Thome as our centerfielder?

RBC

He doesn’t have any speed left.

Knoxvillain

Depth does not equal quality.

jjyank

Yes, based on less than 3 MLB career innings, we can say that he sucks and we have no depth.

Nobody ever said Warren was a top prospect, but he still provides good depth, even with this start.

First time lawng time

Anyone have any idea as to why my google is in Japanese?

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

your on japanese google? mine’s fine.

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

I think it’s part of Obamacare.

Pat D

Let’s not go there.

Jeff

Sucks for you that it doesn’t cover ignorance.

Brian S.

Warren sucks.

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

At least Konerko is on my fantasy team.

Will The Thrill

Warren not giving us a chance at all. Wow does he suck. Straight fastball and offspeed stuff with no bite.

Erica

Am I the only who doesn’t think that Adam Warren sucks? It’s his goddamn first Major League outing. Stop expecting perfection with the first pitch. We have to make do with what we have for the moment.

Knoxvillain

He doesn’t suck, but he’s not a major league quality starter. He is up for a couple of starts at the most probably. He isn’t going to come in and look like Sabathia.

Erica

Right! It’s not a long-term solution. And I think a lot of people are expecting Sabathian-like pitching, or whatever.

Warren is bound for the Bus, have fun on tour kid,see ya next year in a relief role.

wow

What a joke.

Hummingbird S.

what is Girardi waiting for? this kid sucks.. straight pitches down the middle do not work in the majors

flamingo

Okay, I want this guy off our roster. I can’t imagine Cervelli would be worse. And I don’t like Cervelli.

Pat D

Hopefully I won’t miss much as I take the dog for a quick walk.

Chris

He sucks…right now…

Kramerica Industries

Geeze – I’m gonna need to find something else to do tonight if this is gonna continue.

I mean, Chicago’s a good team and everything, but the last four innings the past two nights have been a nightmare. Adam Warren is not long for this rotation, unfortunately, and Chris Stewart has been unbearably atrocious.

Will The Thrill

I don’t care if this Warren’s first start the kid isn’t fooling anyone with with that meatball fastball and flat offspeed pitches.

Chris

I feel bad for him a bit. He must have zero confidence right now.

Greg

GO MAKE A TRADE BRIAN.

Otherwise I might think about killing myself, metaphorically.

I try to be positive, and look what happens.

Erica

I’m really perplexed by your constant negativity. Are you negative about other things in your life, or only the Yankees?

Greg

Basically I need the Yankees to win to help feel good about myself and my choices. I know it seems extreme, but I’m without a job, I just got my masters degree and I;m doing some volunteer work to get experience. In terms of “American Dreams” I;m not doing to well right now.

Pat D

I got laid off last week, but I’m determined to not live and die by sports anymore.

Erica

The Yankees aren’t something you can control and you shouldn’t let it dictate your happiness.

Greg

Easier said then done

Will The Thrill

I can’t believe we gave up Kontos for Stewart aka Cervelli 2.0

TommyBoy

And Chris Stewart is trending on Twitter for all the wrong reasons.

flamingo

Yankee fans mad.

Brian S.

He sucks! No excuse for him to be on this team.

Mike N

Yanks scored four runs in one inning. I am not giving up on this game.

James A

Its weird when you’re wishing we still had AJ the rollercoaster in town

flamingo

…I’m not there yet. In fact, I’ll never be.

jjyank

Neither will I. If AJ wasn’t having a decent year in a terrible division in the lesser of the two leagues, would anyone miss him? I fully believe that AJ in the AL East would still be terrible.

Will The Thrill

I don’t and will never miss AJ. He couldn’t survive in the AL anymore.

Erica

…I’m so sorry for your wishes.

Dewayne is wise

One more hit and warrens parents are getting a beer bath.

Jeff Karstens, Male Model

It’s a shame Cashman passed on all the calls he said he had for this guy, this isn’t going to help his stock…

Crime Dog

I don’t think there is literally one GM in baseball who says “Oh man, he had one bad start against a good team in the Majors. Nevermind, don’t want him”

jjyank

No, but I doubt it hurts his stock either. GMs are smart enough to not base a decision on one MLB start.

New Balance Cleats

Damn when I left he just gave up a homer to AJ….what happened?!

Jeff Karstens, Male Model

He gave up hits.. to practically everybody.

Cy Pettitte

this is 2011 Hughes-esque

Chris

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Erica

Please don’t boo please don’t boo

First time lawng time

That I can agree with. Yeah, he did a crappy job, but he’s young and it was his first start.

Erica

Exactly. If I made a mistake on the first day of a new job, I shouldn’t be yelled at. It’s demoralizing. He’s clearly got talent and he needs our support.

I hate when people, especially here, are so harsh on young pitchers. Hate it. NOBODY is perfect out of the gate and it really bothers me when perfection is expected right away.

Chris

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Tom

Isn’t it fairly obvious that you bring Phelps in, continue stretching him out and he takes the next turn in the rotation?

What is Girardi waiting for? Heck even if Girardi turns a blind eye to effectiveness the guy has thrown nearlyu 80 damn pitches and he’s still in the 3rd.

Kramerica Industries

And with that, Warren is gone.

Well, lets see if Phelps can reclaim that rotation spot now. For all of, well, one start.

First time lawng time

I’m sorry, but does anybody actually watch Tyler Perry’s House of Payne? It’s on TBS right now and, in all honesty, I don’t undersand why they can’t put on Big Bang Theory or Family Guy, which are on on Mon-Thurs and Sat at 8. This Tyler Perry show seems stupid and isn’t even funny.
Ugh. I guess I’m stuck clicking between this Yankee game and Say Yes to the Dress.

TomH

If the game goes sour, read a book. Those TV shows cause mind rot.

Betty Lizard

Netflix FTW

TomH

FTL

Mike N

OK. I didn’t hear boos of the kid, so I am not gonna have to get angry.

Greg

He just took him out

Brian S.

Yeah don’t give him another start. We can’t give away any more games.

DERP

Please stop posting.

Brian S.

Naw.

Will The Thrill

Seriously. He didn’t even give us a chance.

Erica

HOLD ON.

Did you change baseball?

Games only go for three innings? THREE? No. Effin’. Way. Everything I know about life is a lie.

jjyank

You know they have a 5 game lead in the division right? And you know that Phelps is just as capable as exploding in a start as Warren is, right? So Warren can never get another start because he had a bad one in his debut?

Dewayne is wise

Done
See ya.

TampaYankee

I wanted Phelps instead, not that we had a choice, but looks like he handled it better. So far Warren isn’t having a good game, I’m not writing him off entirely though. Just liked our chances with Phelps better after what he showed his last time up. Didn’t like how it worked out with stretching him out and not being ready.

http://fendersonandhampton.com Cuso

oh no. Was he crying?

Erica

I’m not sure, but Rapada definitely looked like he was yesterday. Eek.

http://fendersonandhampton.com Cuso

I know, right?!

cjc

one of the worst performances I can ever remember

Will The Thrill

Nope AJ vs. Arizona Diamondbacks was worse.

New Balance Cleats

Nah that was ONLY 7 runs in 4 IP

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

76 pitches to get 7 outs with 6 earned runs and 8 hits. It doesn’t get mch worse than that.

The White Sox should have at least bought Warren dinner before they did that to him.

Jeff Karstens, Male Model

My God, that pitching line hurt my eyes!!

TomH

With Phelps,we’re beginning to regress to April. I hope tonight isn’t the start of an infection of bad pitching. Even for old pros,the double whammy–CC and Pettitte–must have been demoralizing.

RkyMtnYank

Phelps just looks so much sharper already

Mike N

Can we get some stats on current decent MLB pitchers who stunk like shit in their first MLB start?

Greg

I know Roy Halladay pitched an almost no hitter in his first MLB start

TommyBoy

That’s how you pitch Warren!

Greg

Its hard to think that Casey Kotchman destroyed the 2012 Yankee season. But its getting that feeling to it

Erica

………………….

Greg

It has that mood to me. The reality is not true but the mood is.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

Kotchman did not do anything to CC.

this is CC’s spot.

Need Pitching

though technically, if not for Kotchman, Freddy would have started today – for better or worse

New Balance Cleats

Nope.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

If the Yankees make a trade right now I’d want it to be for a better backup catcher and that’s it. Let’s see what Freddy and Phelps do before pushing the panic button.

http://fendersonandhampton.com Cuso

Poor kid.

How come that only happens to Yankees in their MLB debut when they start?

New Balance Cleats

And just like that goes the trade appeal

DERP

You stupid fucking idiots make it seem like we are down ten runs.

WE ARE DOWN TWO FUCKING RUNS!

Mike N

+1

Erica

+2

flamingo

NICE job by Phelps. I’m watching on Gameday – does he have that two-seamer working?

New Balance Cleats

Its nasty

First time lawng time

Whatevs I’m already over it.

It’s only a 2 run deficit and bottom of the third. It’s still a winnable game.

Mike N

Does the kid have to sit alone in the dugout like a goddamn leper for the rest of the game? If the Yanks take the lead, is he allowed to high-five anyone?

bobtaco

Yes, Rapada.

http://fendersonandhampton.com Cuso

I think it would be pretty cool if Phelps kept side’s spirit up. Warren should listen in on game-plan between innings with Stewart/Phelps.

Hopefully kid doesn’t go IPK and become a little wimp.

DERP

I hope he gets one more chance. Not sure he will though.

Horrible ABs by Tex and Arod.

TampaYankee

Was there no way we could have made it so Phelps got the start instead? This sucks, wasn’t Phelps starting before he got sent down? I don’t know why Warren got the start. Maybe I missed something, hope I’m not coming off ignorant, just confused and now annoyed after this game. Again, not saying Warren is the worst and should never pitch again. Just was wanting Phelps starting.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

I think Phelps wasn’t fully stretched out after spend so much time as a reliever.

Yeah, you missed something. Phelps was only stretched out to throw 70 pitches in his next scheduled start (Saturday).

Will The Thrill

Yeah this was the wrong time to put a rookie starter out there. September is the time for these kind of things but not while you’re smack dab in the middle of a season/pennant race.

Need Pitching

Isn’t September a more crucial part of the season/pennant race?

jjyank

Ha yeah really. End of June and a 5 game lead in the division sounds better to me than September with a potential Rays/Sox surge.

jjyank

If Warren was good, would you be saying that? I think the Yankees thought it was a good opportunity to see what he had. It didn’t work out, but that doesn’t mean it was the wrong decision at the time.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

I think if Phelps was stretched out then they would give him this start because he made a few starts earlier and was perfectly serviceable.

jjyank

RIght but he wasn’t, and Warren lined up perfectly for tonight. I really can’t faul the decision to give him a look. Hindsight is hindsight, but I don’t blame the initial decision at all.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

I know…I said IF he was stretched out. I liked giving Warren a shot over Ramon Ortiz or someone, and I thought he would do much better than he did.

Dewayne is wise

At least we get to see meridiths cans again.

true story

She’s sooooo much hotter than Kim Jones was.

Word. Kim Jones was nerdy hot. And that isn’t necessarily a compliment. Meredith is like young teacher hot.

Young teacher hot…didnt think about that but I see it now lol

Will The Thrill

Yeah! You know what I’m talking about! That young recently graduated teacher who you would always find a way to sneak a touch or get her attention somehow.

Dewayne is wise

Its the yankee network
Where is erin andrews

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

Posting nude videos of herself on the Internet probably.

Erica

Oh GOD, I’m out for this inning. Meredith’s voice makes me want to hurl my TV out the window. I mean, I know the “mute” button exists but I like listening to the game itself. BLERG!

I feel ya man. I got a Masters as well and couldn’t get what I wanted to do. I’m a damn bank teller, despite an MA in International Relations and a passable ability to speak Arabic. Couldn’t get a single government job despite upwards of 300 applications. So I moved to DC anyway and settled on this bullshit job for the time being. But out of the blue, I got a call from two agencies that want to move forward with applications I put in back in March. One was the TSA, and the other I’m not allowed to disclose. Seriously.

My point is that good things will happen, you just gotta try hard and be patient. Likewise with baseball.

My guess is the NSA. I know you can’t tell me if I’m right or wrong, but I know the NSA is a lot more far reaching than the CIA can ever dream to be and almost nobody gives them a second look. They prefer it that way, I’m sure.

jjyank

You’re right, I can’t say, but I can say that’s not an entirely accurate statement.

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

Who knew we had our very own Jack Bauer on RAB.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

I like to think of him as our Sterling Archer.

Bo Knows

He needs to change his name to the “DANGER ZONE”

jjyank

No, no. First of all I’m still just an applicant, and second of all I’m not going to bea field officer. I’m going for Intel Analyst. As far as I know, I can post the job title, since literall all 16 members of the Intelligence Community have that title, I’m not really narrowing it down :P

But no guns or fear of death for me.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Lol, come on. Anybody who knows anything about government knows the NSA is secretive as shit and does a lot more than they say.

jjyank

And so does the CIA. Their more well known because they’ve been around for like 60 years, but trust me, some shaaaady stuff happens there too. I’ve been lucky enough to tour the CIA, NSA, and ODNI facilities. CIA has them all beat, by a large margin.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

I know it does lol, I don’t trust the intelligence community as a whole, they’re all shady fucks (no offense to you personally)

jjyank

Of course. You can’t be a very good intelligence agency if you’re not secretive. Intel and covert work does not go hand in hand with transparency and democracy. Just doesn’t work.

You should see those war rooms though man. Giant, auditorium sized rooms, with 70” flat screens covering all the walls with every single news network on the planet on each one, every single desk had 3 monitors. Really impressive. Just to add to the ambiance, it’s all very dimly lit and has black furniture. Almost eerie.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

Bahaha…I can see it in my head, I’ve wanted to go into the Intelligence Community just to be part of that, but I hate government inner workings to begin with on the outside…I don’t think I’d like it any more seeing all the dirty laundry.

jjyank

Also, the CIA has a museum in one of its hallways, and it includes a James Bond-esque exploding pen from the Cold War.

There’s dirty laundry every where you go though. Every job I’ve ever had as featured corruption, greediness, or just breaking protocol in some way. Might as well have a BAMF job title in the process.

Knoxvillain

Go for the CIA. There’s a lot of money there with the illegal drug trafficking, lol.

jjyank

Not my field. But yes, I can make well over six figures a year as an intel analyst.

Drug trafficking is more DEA and FBI, by the way.

Well…that was underwhelming…I honestly was expecting 5IP 3-5 runs…that was just terrible…if he gets another chance I hope he can do better and this was just nerves getting the better of him.

At least Youkilis is still a terrible baseball player. Not sure why people acted like he was going to suddenly hit by changing teams.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

because by people you mean nESPN and nESPN loves him more than anybody.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

He has the Red Sox tag. If Wakefield attempted a comeback those same people would say he’d be as good as Pettitte was.

Crime Dog

He isnt terrible really. He’s an upgrade over what they had at 3B, and they didn’t give up much for him. He’s still got good BB rates and will probably wind up with a halfway decent slash line.

If only CC could be as much of an ace as Phelps.

Phelps > Warren

With that being said Cash please trade for a starter.

jjyank

Who? The Yanks don’t really have the pieces for a huge splash, Dempster’s on the DL, Wandy has that dumb contract, and lesser guys probably aren’t even an upgrade.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

Dempseter should be back after the ASB. I would like to see Freddy and Phelps can offer before thinking seriously about at trade though.

jjyank

Theo will demand a king’s ransom for Dempster anyway. I don’t think he’d be worth the price.

Tim McCarver is going to the HOF and people argue over whether Posada is worthy?!?

That’s not really accurate. He won an award that is given by the Hall of Fame.

That does not make him a “Hall of Famer.”

If McCarver is a HOFer than Gameday’s scout feature is a HOFer.

Stewart…just stop existing. I never thought I’d hate a member of the Yankees…but I really strongly dislike you.

Tom

While I’m glad that Girardi didn’t call for a bunt there…. I almost wish he had.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

Jeter should have told him to bunt.

Tom

Nicely played!

Will The Thrill

Um. Martin and Stewart have been equally terrible this year. We need a catcher who isn’t an embarrassment at the plate.

Get Phelps Up (formerly Freddy Garcia’s 86 mph Heat)

Martin is much better at the plate than Stewart…and he’s worlds better on defense.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

They’re both just ‘blegh’ though.

Crime Dog

Russ is like “Bleh”, whereas Stewart is like “HOLYSHITBLEHFUCKINGBLEH”

Will The Thrill

My thoughts exactly. I’d kill for a catcher who can play solid D can hit at least .250 and hit for some power.

Uh. I just described Gary Sanchez didn’t I?

Crime Dog

Yeah bring Sanchez all the way to the majors. Great solution.

Will The Thrill

That’s not what I mean dude. I meant that Gary Sanchez possesses all the tools we desire in a Yankee catcher.

Crime Dog

Yeah, I’m cool with that. Sorry, I can’t read tonight.

I love the prospects of, well, prospects as well. But with Sanchez’s ETA not being till late 2014 ish, we gotta find a solid guy. Whether that’s Russ, or whoever else. Also, obviously Sanchez is no sure thing.

jjyank

Yeah, he does. But he’s a looooong way from the majors. I’m hoping the Yanks can resign Martin for a deal that coincides with Sanchez’s ETA. He’s as good a stopgap as any, assuming he doesn’t price himself out of that.

Need Pitching

not sure about the solid D yet, but hopefully he can figure that part out

So yea, I’ll take Martin. Plus, Martin has been playing below his skill level it would seem, whereas Stewart might actually be worse than his slash line indicates.

Need Pitching

This.
Martin hasn’t been good offensively, but Stewart is an all around disaster.

Dewayne is wise

Jeez this is a four game series? I don’t think I can take any more of this!

Rocky Road Redemption

How the fuck is Quintana still in this game? I mean, it’s not our hitters’ fault, we scored six runs off of him. It’s just amazing to me that his pitch count is only in the 90s after this. I mean, FUCK.

your mom

His offense bought him 9 lives.

Tom

Decent job by Phelps to hold down the fort.

Don’t like the 2 out, noone on base walk (especially when you start 0-2), but Dunn can at least go yard so it’s not like you just say “let him hit his way on base”

First our depth is not crap. Phelps pitched very well in a mop up role. Second, name me a team that would have depth after losing their: closer, 7th inning reliever, ace and number 2 starter, plus a number 3 starter earlier in the season. Not even America’s next dynasty, the Rangers, has that much depth.

Dewayne is wise

Stewie kills martin in luck factor.

Joe Girardi

Please god dont let Wade suck again.

Tom

So other than the Girardi first impression factor (it takes a LONG time to overcome the first impression Girardi gets on a player), why is Stewart on the team?

To carry a .600 or below OPS bat, this guy needs to be Johnny Bench/Yadier Miolina/Ivan ROIDriquez behind the plate and he is clearly not. I know he looked good early on (again Girardi first impression factor), but how bad does he have to be to move on from this guy?

Will The Thrill

When it’s not shitty hitting, it’s shitty pitching. I hope they pull it together before the Tampa Bay and Boston series. This is the worst time for the Yankees to start playing bad.

Wade turning into a pumpkin before our eyes – these homers to right handers are ridiculous.

It is too bad we play Tampa and Boston next week – hope our pitching is not in disarray and that we do not completely reverse the great work of the last six weeks by having a crappy ten days against the wrong teams.

Yeah, last night was a heart breaker and head scratcher…tonight was just we got beat.

Rich

This is why Girardi is a good manager (and I was ripping him too after yesterday’s debacle). Wade is in a horrible slump, when (if?) Joba comes back, he is glorified mop-up man anyways, he should take one for the team. Tomorrow, we have Kuroda, and our main bullpen guys (Logan, Soriano, Robertson) will be rested. Sometimes, you lose the battle to win the war.

your mom

With our luck Joba and Aardsma aren’t returning this season.

http://thecarsboneblog.tumblr.com Raul Ibanez AKA Tom Marvolo Riddle

agreed…but I think throwing in the towel when the lead was only 3 was a little overboard.

your mom

Agreed.

Need Pitching

not much left in the pen that would be worth wasting already down 3 though. Maybe Eppley, but it would be his third straight game and probably make him unavailable tomorrow.

Tom

Eppley being not available tomorrow is not exactly a disaster.

The thing about keeping it a 3 run game (or at least trying to), means Venutura probably roles out his closer in the 9th (which makes him unavailable tomorrow)… seems like a good tradeoff.

Instead some schmo named Septimo soaks up the inning.

Need Pitching

True, but Wade (or Warren) may conveniently come down with a case of mysteryinjuryitis.

DM

You may only need one move. Wade down, Mitchell up. Give Warren another crack on Wed while knowing you have the off-day on Thurs, you can use the bullpen liberally if need be.

Maybe Warren down but would they send Wade down too – he is now useless for a couple of days, I would think.

Not only is he giving up home runs at an alarming rate but his pitches look like they are just bgeachballs going to plate – he does not have lights out stuff so when he is off I guess he turns into a batting practice pitcher

DM

I think Wade might be optioned. Both multi-inning guys are used up in Phelps and Wade. Maybe Mitchell will replace him.

DeWayne for President

Cy Pettitte

Wise for #5 starter

Wise to the sixth!

Andy Pettitte’s Fibula (former Manny’s BanWagon)

Wade should be ashamed after watching Wise get out of the inning with ease.

Mr. Pink

Dwayne Wise made me feel better about this loss.

Bears top the Giants 14-7

OMG! Bagels!

Just got home and heard the recap on My9 14-7…REALLY?

your mom

Yes, really.

So, for those who love Pitching Wins as a stat, tonight offers our winner, Quintana, who gave up a stellar six runs in six innings, and our loser, Phelps, for one solo home run.

Phelps takes the loss? That’s kind of rough.

Couldn’t agree more. I was just going to write the same exact thing and how Wins (along with Batting Average) are the most overrated stats in baseball. How did Quintana get the W for getting rocked for 6 innings and Phelps who helped make it a game get the loss for giving up two runs. Stupid. The official scorer should have some discretion, especially for giving losses, even if the starter pitches 5 or more innings. A 9.00 ERA in a game deserves a win? Just like 6 innings, 3 ER or less (4.50 ERA or less) is a quality start? Dumb (off my soapbox)

Well…that was a tough loss. I’m going to go get high and forget about it.

your mom

Well, horrible pitching performances all around. Hope this isn’t the start of a trend with CC and Pettitte shelved. Better luck tomorow.

Need to get this off my chest………….Fuck the White Sox!

If there’s a worse way to lose than surrendering two homers to the biggest scumbag in baseball, I’d like to hear it.

stuart a

only saw part of the game. did not see Cano’s great baserunning play.

good news is arod is still smoking the ball and may get to 80 rbi’s if he gets real hot.

wade is fooling no one….lucky binder boy did not want to use robertson to start the 9th last night…..
